Today, admission was FREE to #FortChristiansvaern ! Fascinating #StCroix history, cool Caribbean breezes, and breathtaking harbor views. Surprisingly, the cannons never had to be fired in defense but only to signal curfews and the arrivals of dignitaries and during military drills. 💣

Alexander Hamilton’s mother was even imprisoned here (by her cruel first husband when she refused to live with him). Did you know Alexander Hamilton spent his childhood in St. Croix??? 🇻🇮
